Atelier Marcel Hastir
The Atelier Marcel Hastir is a magical place where culture lovers and artists meet in the midst of Marcel Hastir's paintings, in the intimate setting of what has been his place of work since 1935.
Marcel Hastir was a Belgian painter, theosofist and resistance fighter. His studio in the Leopold district served also as a concert hall for young musicians, and during the Second World War this "painters school" actually served as a relatively safe meeting place for young artists, students and resistance fighters. A team of passionate volunteers work for the preservation of his work and home organising concerts with both young and confirmed talent from Belgium and abroad.

Musée Wiertz Museum
The Wiertz Museum is be temporarily closed for works. The work will involve renovating the museum entrance (outside and inside) and the caretaker's lodge. The Wiertz Museum will be closed to the public for the duration of the works, which should be completed by summer 2025.
The museum, which has preserved its original atmosphere, is dedicated to painter, sculptor and writer Antoine Wiertz (1806-1865), a somewhat controversial artistic figure of the Belgian Romantic movement. Wiertz loved the spectacular, painting giant canvasses to indulge his thirst for the excessive, like the more than 8 metres long Greeks and Trojans fighting over the body of Patroclus. Wiertz is also known for his dramatic subjects and horror scenes, such as his Premature Burial. His most famous painting is probably Two Girls (La Belle Rosine), in which a young woman faces a skeleton, reflecting the artist's fascination with death and the fragility of human life. Wiertz also produced numerous portraits and self-portraits.
